Google Play App Signing upload.pem?


I've developed and uploaded an android app to the Google Play Store, and I "accidentally" clicked the enable Google Play App Signing.. Now my app has been "stuck" at that stage for some hours now, and I'm suspecting the signed .apk (signed by my, by a jks I have on my machine) is not signed with the correct certificate..

Since I clicked enable to the Google Play App Signing, I got a "upload.pem" and a "deployment.pem", but I have no idea on what to do with these to certificates, and absolutely no idea on how to sign my .apk with these/one of these, since the info page only says that you need to use the upload to sign the .apk. (https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/7384423)

So I'm wondering if anyone could help me with what to do, and how to sign the app correctly?..


Solution

  • You do not need to import upload.pem to keystore that you used to sign the APK previously, unless you are using a new keystore to sign the APK. Just sign it with your keystore and upload it to Play Store.
